Speakers Corner CommentsHas the Welfare State Crashed ? Isn't it time Government and all Political Parties recognised and advised the population of the United Kingdom that you can't carry on having and demanding something for nothing.. If you want proper Public Services they have to be paid for, and that means Taxes, it doesn,t mean a Nanny State Why do people require Tax Credits etc. ,if they are working? Why can people no longer recognise that you only buy what you can afford, which means ,what you have earned.. It.s time the UK got a backbone again and pulled together instead of tearing itself apart The next Government should be a Coalition from the best brains within all Parties, but who would lead it is the big questionViewDate:

Do you think money skills should be taught in school?If parents these days taught their children the economies of housekeeping etc. as we were taught there would not be the problem. You earned pocket money whilst at school,and when you left,you contributed part of your wage to the household.ViewDate:

Do you bank online?My local branch of Lloyds is closing soon, & the nearest is an hours drive away (if you can drive) so I shall transfer my accounts to someone who is not moving. I am 91 yrs old, and yes ,I can use a computer,, but I have limitations. I also had an experience recently of losing all my communication systems for 3 days so why should I have to rely on technology.. When I started banking, banks were there to offer a service to customers, now they should be called Highwaymen.ViewDate:

Anyone living in or near to Shrewsbury ?Hello Aquarius, I live 30 miles from Shrewsbury in Newtown Wales. I am also an Aquariun. I don't travel in to Shewsbury very often these days, usually to visit the hospital for my eye checks. I used to know the town very well , mainly for shopping and als because my Grandchildren live in the surrounding area. However, at 91 years of age I don,t drive anymore, and I avoid hills,except the one I live on. Good Luck in your new home,I think you will enjoy the area very much.ViewDate:

How we lived in the FiftiesThe Fifties were one of the happiest days of my life. After 3 years training in a Navigation School I joined my first ship in 1949 at 16 years of age. It was a tramp ship , and for the next 18 months we covered a large part of the world. Australia,India,Malaya.Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, Mongolia,,Persian Gulf. Norway. I left that ship in Dover a week before Christmas in 1950. I stayed in the Merchant Navy until 1958 then Joined the RAF. Marriage changes thingsViewDate:

Tony Blackburn and Arlene Phillips call for independent commissioner for ageingNo thought is given to the older generation in these days of technology .It is just assumed by Politicians , Banks and Businesses that we will fall into line and use smart phones and computers.. It is time we had a proper representative to point out the facts to these people that our generation have more common sense in our little fingers than they have with their AI. We were taught to use our brain and with me that is nearly a 100 years ago.ViewDate:

Do you feel comfortable with online banking?We are not all computer literate , or wish to be. Why should our generation change just to suit the younger generations..ViewDate:

Was leaving the EU a mistake?Leaving the EU was the right thing to do, unfortunately our so called politicians did not look far enough ahead because they had no experience of life outside of the EU and therefore made insufficient plans, No one in this country voted to join the EU, only for the Common Market. Mrs Thatcher took it upon herself to sign up for the nation.ViewDate:
